This one has been hanging out in my "to read" pile for a long time while I've struggled to surrender my ego with Eckhart Tolle and Steve Ross. Last week, I OD'd on self-improvement (again) and picked it up for a quick, escapist read.
"Babyji" follows a young lesbian high school student in India as she determines what she wants from her future. It had very little to do with the coming-out process, and much more to do with college selection and the tricky dynamics of new sexual relationships. The prose didn't set my brain on fire, but by giving a voice to Anamika - a confident, butch, sexy and intelligent Indian teenage heroine, Abha Dawesar has added a rare perspective to the growing genre of GLBT lit for young adults.
